To follow up on my earlier thread in the Entertainment and Nightlife section (Where to celebrate New Year's Eve in HK?), I'd like to gauge interest in a group outing for New Year's Eve. Please post if you're interested and advise places you have in mind.

I'm in town and have a friend joining me as well. I am game if there is something interesting and not overly expensive planned for New Years Eve.

I was planning on heading to Knutsford but LMK if you guys have anything planned.

[martyn]

I'll definitely be loitering around LKF somewhere.

[nemrac]

shall we organise something then? Or will geoexpat has something organised already?

[takeanu]

Yeah sounds fun, all get together ! first new years in hk. everybody wang chung tonight!

[texasaxel]

LKF sounds good. I'm flying in from Europe that day and probably won't be able to join in the fun before 9p.m. --> any suggestions about venues?

We had a great time at Schnurbarts a few years ago .. no special meal and no overpriced sets.. and they are a pretty cozy bar. Not for posh / pretty people though.

Schnurrbart's sounds good. I am not looking for the $500+ dinner set but rather drinks and music. Is it common for people to bring their own bottles of champagne and drink on d'Aguilar street at midnight?

[kombuchakid]

not in town for the fun and frolic this time around, but based on last year and a couple before that; LKF gets more and more tourists coming to gawk at how foreigners and people who think they are foreigners behave.

I would much rather pay $1000 and have the run of Viceroy and the other joints on the 2nd floor of SHK Centre.

If you can get about 30+ people and someone to organise then nothing beats a junk party at a nearby island and later getting close to the noonday gun for the midnight salute-with a bottle of Marquise de
Pompadour, of course
